Now that the symptoms of acid reflux, or GERD, affect about 60 million Americans at least occasionally… Should we be familiar with the ways to possibly prevent it? I think so. So I devoted an entire episode to this excruciatingly boring subject.

If you want to read up on the causes and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, this WebMD article provides a good overview of the subject.

There are many diet and lifestyle factors that can improve our heartburn pain dramatically. One of the lifestyle factors that can affect symptoms of acid reflux is adequate sleep. I devoted the previous episode here on how to avoid sleep deprivation.

As always, if you have any questions or comments… Feel free to write me on my website contact page, healing outside the.com.
